Miss Colorado US international 2012 Biography: Iman

Iman Oubou was raised for the most part in Denver, Colorado but her origins are from Morocco; a country known for its exotic landscapes and for being the intersection of several cultures. What makes her different from many beauty queens is her multi-cultural background. Throughout her lifetime, Iman has lived and experienced the African culture, the European culture, the Asian-culture and of course the Ameri-can culture. She also speaks four languages which makes her very international.

Iman’s main interests lie in the Biomedical and Bioscience fields. She graduated from Colorado State University with a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry/Molec-ular Biology. After her graduation, she went off to Germany for three months, where she interned with a new biomedical company in Munich. During that summer, she had the opportunity to explore the European culture as well as travel and visit different countries. She also met some great people and expanded her bioscience networking skills. After finishing up her summer internship, Iman was accepted at both the Queen Mary school of London and the CU Anschutz Medical campus for her graduate studies. Although, it was very hard for her to choose which school to attend, she end-ed up choosing her home state Colorado. She is currently com-pleting her Masters of Science in Biomedical engineering as well as a certificate in Bio-innovation entrepreneurship at the CU An-

schutz Medical Campus. In addi-tion, she is planning on complet-ing a certificate in Global health. Iman is very involved with the fields of public and global health. She is currently the Co-president of the students for global health and dedicates her free time to volunteering activities with Local and international children’ cen-ters. One of her most important achievement is being part of a medical mission to East Africa where she assisted in 26 surgeries and several cases’ diagnosis. Iman claims to have learned about the medical field than she ever did inside a classroom. She definitely stepped out of her comfort zone and completed this medical mis-sion with pride and honors. Iman enjoyed being part of such an amazing team and is definitely planning many more medical missions, including one to Mo-rocco on May 2013. Iman is cur-rently in the process of making all the necessary arrangements for this medical mission to happen, including getting in touch with the health ministers and directors in certain regions of Morocco. When she is not involved with international missions, she is helping out in different children centers and elementary schools. She believes that spending time with the children and mentoring them will help them become bet-ter and wiser future leaders of the country. One of her many goals is to found a non-profit founda-tion which will dedicate itself to supporting Children with Cancer. Currently, our Coloradan beauty queen is very involved with the Denver children’s Home where she consistently goes and speaks to an assembly of children, men-

tors them, organizes different activities for them…etc. Besides her love for medical and charity work, she has pas-sion for fashion. Iman has always thought about being a fashion stylist on the side. She keeps up with the new trends and is usu-ally approached by many to help putting up outfits together for certain occasions.

We hope to see more of this Mo-roccan beauty in various events in Colordo and the world.

Here is Iman at the age of three.

Where is MOROCCO? The Official name is Kingdom of Morocco.Morocco, or Kingdom of Morocco, a country of northwestern Africa. It is bordered by Algeria, Mau-ritania, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea. Across the narrow Strait of Gibraltar lies Spain.

The Language: Classical Arabic is the official language, but Arabic and Berber dialects are more widely spoken. French predomi-nates among the social elite.


Area: 172,414 mi2 (446,550 km2). Greatest distancenorth-south, 565 mi (910 km); east-west, 730 mi (1,170 km). Coastline-1,140 mi (1,835 km).If you would like to fly to Morocco, round trip approxi-mately $1795.00 on AA

Miss United States International:

This is a beauty pageant that selects the USA representative to compete at Miss International. The Pageant was established in 1960 in Long Beach, California and has grown into a quasi-national event, so that it is now known as the “Olympics of Beau-ty”.

Delegates compete in evening gown, swimsuit and onstage interview. I am very fortunate to know and photograph Miss Colorado, Iman Oubou, born in Morocco and now living and working in Denver, Colorado. The judges will be judging the representatives on modeling, personality, beauty, grooming and fashion sense.

This beauty pageant will take place in Orlando, Florida, 2012. This pageant is the official USA preliminary to the Miss Inter-national Beauty Pageant, held annually , (http://www.miss-international.org/). The winner of this national pageant goes on to compete against 70 other beautiful wom-en from all around the world for the title of Miss International. Do you have what it takes:

Here is the link that will answer mostly all of your questions.http://www.missunitedstatesinternational.com/rulesandregs.html.

Also called “Miss International Beauty”, this pageant is not based on looks alone. Contestants are expected to serve as “Am-bassadors of Peace and Beauty”, showing tenderness, benevolence, friendship, beau-ty, intelligence, ability to take action, and, most importantly, a great international

sensibility. The ultimate goal of the Miss In-ternational beauty pageant is to promote world peace, goodwill, and understanding.

Last years (2011), winner of Miss Interna-tional is from Ecuador, Miss Maria Fernan-da Cornejo number 23. She is also one of the 10 hottest women in Ecuador.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE NEW I PHONE 5?

Italian designer reveals iPhone 5 mock-up

February 24, 2012 - 16:17 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - The iPhone 5 might not be arriving any time soon, but that hasn’t stopped artists and design firms from creating their own mock-ups, Mashable reported. After analyzing the various iPhone 5 rumors, Italian designer Federico Ciccarese came up with gorgeous renders. Ciccarese’s vision of the iPhone 5 predicts a slight-ly curved back. The body of the phone, in fact, looks similar to Apple’s Magic Mouse.

The display is flat and “retina” in nature and the phone tapers off at the top and bottom. The headphone jack has moved to the side to ac-commodate the new design and the back looks to be blasted aluminum, similar to what is used on the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac. This isn’t the first time Ciccarese has mocked up his own version of future Apple products. In addi-tion to previously trying to design the fifth-gen-eration iPhone (what would become the iPhone 4S), Ciccarese has also taken on concepts such as the iScreen, his vision of the rumored integrated television from Apple.

iPhone 5 May Arrive in the Fall of 2012

February 22, 2012As with other iPhone releases, we’ve been hear-ing a lot of conflicting news about the iPhone 5 as of late. While we reported earlier this month that the iPhone 5 would be released in the summer of 2012–to coincide with Apple’s World Wide Devel-opers Conference (WWDC)–we’re now hearing that this may not be the case after all. That’s be-cause several sources are now reporting that the iPhone 5 will come out in September or October of 2012.

As with many rumors, this may not come true; however, we’ve decided to provide a closer look into this possible fall debut for the iPhone 5. Japanese Blog Says iPhone 5 Will Debut in Fall The Japanese blog Macotakara.jp reported on Monday of this week that the iPhone 5 would be coming out in September or October 2012. According to Macotakara, they were given this in-formation from a “very reliable source in Asia.” The source told Macotakara that the iPhone 5 would likely come out in one of these two months and that–perhaps even more importantly–this cycle would continue for future iPhone releases. In other words, according to the source, Apple is completely abandoning their previous new iPhone summer release schedule in favor of a new iPhone every fall schedule. That, of course, contra-dicts what many other sources have been report-ing–that the iPhone 5 would mark the return of the new iPhone every June schedule Apple previ-ously had. Why a Fall Debut Makes Sense The idea of releasing the iPhone 5 (as well as fu-ture iPhones) in the fall actually isn’t that crazy. In fact, it might just be a great idea–from a business standpoint–for Apple.


That’s because the iPhone 4S was extremely successful in terms of sales, even moreso than the other iPhones. The iPhone 4S sold more units in the first 24 hours that it was on sale than any other Apple product. Over four million iPhone 4S units were sold during the first weekend. Not only that, but sales of the iPhone 4S contin-ued well into the holiday season of 2011. If the iPhone 5 were released in October 2012, it is very likely that the sales of the iPhone 5 would also continue well into the holiday season. This would mean big profits for Apple. One other reason why a fall iPhone 5 debut makes sense is that it would be roughly a year after the release of the 4S. Many feel that releas-ing the iPhone 5 less than a year after the 4S–as would happen with a summer 2012 release–would upset a lot of customers. Why a Fall Debut Doesn’t Make Sense On the flip side of things, a fall debut for the iPhone 5 doesn’t make sense because the launch of the new iPhone has become such a staple at Apple’s WWDC event in June of each year. If Apple were to release the iPhone 5 in October, they obviously could not promote the device at WWDC in June. What’s more, Apple would have to plan a separate event in September/October of each year just to present the new iPhone for that year. That could be a big hassle. What’s Most Likely: Fall or Summer To be honest, we feel at this point that the iPhone 5 release date is really a toss up. It makes sense for Apple to wait a year to release the iPhone 5, which means a fall 2012 iPhone 5 release date. However, it also makes sense for Apple to return to the WWDC-centered release date by bringing out the iPhone 5 in June 2012. And given all of the reports we’ve received about the iPhone 5 already going into production, a June 2012 release date seems most likely. So if we had to predict a release date for the iPhone 5 right now, we’d still say June 2012.

I Phone 5: Five Photography Apps Worth Download-ing

February 20, 2012

The iPhone 5 may be months away from its release, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start think-ing about what apps you may want to download for the device. While we’ve pointed out the ways that Apple can improve the iPhone 5‘s camera and photo editing capabilities, there’s no way Apple will be able to implement every possible photography feature that iPhone 5 owners want. Luckily, the iPhone App Store is home to over 500,000 apps, many of which are photo taking and editing apps. We’ll cover five iPhone 5 photography apps worth downloading. Five Must-Have iPhone 5 Photography Apps When selecting the apps on this list, we looked at three things: price, reviews, and features/design. Although there are thousands of iPhone photog-raphy apps, we feel that these are some of the best ones you can download for your iPhone 5. Camera+ If you take the iPhone’s stock camera application and add the ability to tweak a lot of the camera’s settings, you end up with an app like Camera+. Camera+ currently is one of the most downloaded photography apps in the iPhone app store, and it’s for good reason: the Camera+ is capable of taking some very impressive pictures on the iPhone 4S, and it’s sure to do the same on the iPhone 5. Cam-era+ users have the ability to zoom in up to 6x and post images to Twitter/Facebook from within the app. Cost: $1.99


Photoshop Express For years now, Adobe’s Photoshop program has been known as one of the best photo edit-ing tools available. While the iPhone version of Adobe Photoshop can’t hold a candle to the computer version, it is still pretty good. Photo-shop Express is a must-have photography app for your iPhone 5 because it is so easy to use. Effects can be added to pictures and pictures can be cropped by tapping just a couple buttons. What’s perhaps even better is the cost of Photoshop Express: free. Cost: Free AutoStitch The iPhone 5 camera will be able to do many things, but one thing it probably won’t be able to do out of the box is take panoramic photos. For those who don’t know, panoramic photos are comprised of 3 different photos that are stitched together to provide a large photo of a big area that cannot be captured by a single camera shot. AutoStitch allows users to take panoramic photos with their iPhone 5, 4S, 4, and 3GS. The photos are effortlessly and quickly stitched together. In our experience, AutoStitch does a great job of creating nice panoramic images. If you’re plan-ning on taking a lot of photos with your iPhone 5, this is definitely an app that you should have. Cost: $1.99 Snapseed Remember how we mentioned that Adobe’s Pho-toshop Express iPhone app can’t hold a candle to the computer version of Photoshop Express? Well, there is one iPhone 5 app that can give Pho-toshop a run for its money: Snapseed. Snapseed is a robust iPhone app that enables both ama-teur and professional iPhone photographers to tweak photos to their heart’s desire. Images can be cropped, straightened, sharpened, structured, and even tilted or shifted. Snapseed comes with a bunch of photo filters and other adjustment features, too.

Simply put: Snapseed can help you make even your worst iPhone 5 photo look good.

Cost: $4.99

Instagram We can’t have an iPhone 5 photography apps list without mentioning the most popular photo app, Instagram. Instagram first took the world by storm in 2010 and has since been downloaded over 15 million times from the App Store. Ins-tagram is popular for one reason: it’s extremely simple to use and to share photos. Instagram works by applying specific filters to photos to give the photos a unique, elegant look. While Instagram certainly isn’t as good at photo edit-ing as the other apps we mentioned, it’s still a photography app worth having on deck on your iPhone 5. Cost: Free

iPhone 5: New Features We Want in iOS5 or iOS6

February 19, 2012

Although it’s been less than six months since Apple’s iOS5 debuted on the iPhone 4S, many are speculating that iOS6 is just around the corner–and may in fact debut on the new iPhone 5. We don’t know yet if the iPhone 5 will be coming with iOS6 pre-installed or if it will be an updated version of iOS 5 (perhaps 5.1?), but one thing is for certain: we want to see even more improve-ments and new features in the iPhone 5 iOS. Continuing on our focus this week of going in depth with all things related to the iPhone 5, we’ve compiled a list of things we’d like to see in the iPhone 5′s operating system.


More Widgets For iPhone 5 For years, many iPhone owners complained about the lack of widgets. Widgets, of course, are small applications found on the dashboard of the device. Android devices allow widgets to be placed on the main screen of the website. With iOS5, Apple allowed iPhone users to have widgets displayed on the notifications drag-down menu. Unfortunately, Apple currently only allows the weather and stock widgets to be displayed. We’d like to see Apple expand this functionality by al-lowing 3rd party widgets into the app store for the iPhone 5. It would be kinda cool to have a Twitter widget that displays recent tweets on the iPhone 5, after all. Alternate Keyboard We love the iPhone’s keyboard. It seems to be ide-al for typing with small and medium sized hands, and it’s quite accurate. That having been said, it would be nice to have other options for the key-board. As with widgets, Android allows users to install alternate keyboards such as Swype (which involves drawing or tracing words) and others that may better fit the user’s needs. It’s a bit of a long shot to expect the iPhone 5 (or really, any iPhone for the next few years) to support the installation of different iOS keyboards, but it would be nice. More Launch Shortcuts Look at the bottom of your iPhone screen and you’ll see four shortcut icons for quick launch-ing of your most used applications. While you can change the icons to whatever you want, you cannot have any more than four. For iPhone users who have more than four commonly used applica-tions, this is a problem. Those who have jailbroken their iPhone know that, through jailbreaking, it’s possible to have more than four quick launch shortcuts. If Apple were to implement this with the iPhone 5, there would be a lot more happy iPhone 5 owners, we think.

Computer Control Imagine this: your iPhone is charging and you’re at your computer. You’d like to send messages through your iPhone from your computer. Cur-rently, you can’t do this. However, if Apple listens to what many people have been wanting for years, this could be a reality on the iPhone 5. We’d like to see, at a minimum, the option to read and send text messages through the iPhone 5 from the computer, but it would be even cooler if the iPhone 5 let us actually see the full iPhone screen on our computer (essentially, it would be like re-mote desktop, except it would be remote iPhone).

iPhone 5: 5 Ways the Camera Can Be Improved February 17, 2012 If there’s one thing that has consistently changed with each new iPhone model, it’s the camera. The original iPhone came with just a 2 megapixel cam-era, while the iPhone 4S came with an 8 megapix-el camera and flash capability. We’re hoping this progressive trend of camera changes continues with the new iPhone 5, reportedly set [...]

iPhone 5: Five Features We Want to See February 14, 2012 iPhone 5 rumors and leaks have been turning up left and right over the past few weeks. We’ve heard about a possible 13 megapixel camera, 4G LTE, bigger display, and even NFC capability being found in the new iPhone 5. While we don’t know for sure what features will and will not make it into [...]

Well we have some more iPhone 5 rumors lined up for all you iPhone 5 fans. This time the rumors pertain to the camera technology that the iPhone 5 will be using. The news comes from 9to5mac, which cites that Apple co-founder, late Steve Jobs, showed some great interest in the Lytro Camera Technology. They came to this conclusion after going through the unreleased book “Inside Apple” by Adam Lashinsky.


Apparently 9to5Mac received an advance copy of the book and the book shows that Steve Jobs had some conversation over this technology with CEO of Lytro company.iPhone 5 can make some great use of Lytro Tech-nology The technology from Lytro makes capturing of ad-ditional information of the scene possible and not just a simple representation of colored pixel grids. Extra information like the direction in which the rays are entering the camera lens as well as the in-tensity will also be recorded and processed before the image is ready. Also this additional data can be modified to tweak the photograph even more. If the iPhone 5 makes use of this technology, then combine this with the high resolution retina display and we have a killer device ready at our hands. Of course it is just that Steve Jobs showed interest in this technology at some point of time and no one can say for certain if this will be part of the upcoming iPhone 5.

iPhone 5 might support the 802.11ac Wireless Standard! We have all heard about the 802.11ac and how it will make Gigabit Wireless networking a possibil-ity. But this time AppleInsider is reporting that the upcoming iPhone 5 and the iPad 3 might have full support for this turbocharged wireless network-ing technology. The 802.11ac standard is three times faster than the 802.11n standard. Apple is not only restricting the use of this tech-nology to the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3, but Apple TV, Time Capsules and the Notebook range will also employ this technology. The standard has not yet been given the final seal of approval from the Highest authority that deals with networking pro-tocols and standards, but it will happen soon. A major supplied to Apple BroadCom, already show-cased some 802.11ac ready chipsets at CES 2012.

iPhone 5: Five Features We Want to See

February 14, 2012

iPhone 5 rumors and leaks have been turning up left and right over the past few weeks. We’ve heard about a possible 13 megapixel camera, 4G LTE, bigger display, and even NFC capability being found in the new iPhone 5. While we don’t know for sure what features will and will not make it into the iPhone 5 that is released to the public (likely to happen this summer), we do know some of the other features we want to see–beyond those that we’ve been hearing will be found in the iPhone 5. Better Facebook and Twitter Integration in iPhone 5 With iOS5, Apple introduced Twitter integration where images can be uploaded to Twitter from the built-in iOS photo app. You cannot, however, upload images to Facebook directly from the pho-tos app on the iPhone, which is something many people are not happy about. We’re hoping that Apple will improve both the Facebook and Twit-ter integration on the iPhone 5 so that pictures and statuses can be easily sent from the iPhone 5 without needing to launch the apps for both programs. MicroSD Card Support One of the things that separates the iPhone from Android phones is the fact that Android phones support the use of microSD cards to store music and other files on the device. Although many iPhone users are happy with the current iPhone size offerings (16GB, 32GB and 64GB), some need more space than this to adequately store their high resolution images and videos, not to men-tion their music and video library. It doesn’t seem likely that the iPhone 5 will have microSD card support, but it’s still something we’d love to see.


Better Battery Life and a Removable Battery Even if you only make the occasional call or play the occasional game on your iPhone, you’re probably going to find that the phone needs to be charged at least once per day. In fact, many iPhone 4 and 4S have complained that the bat-tery life on their device is too short. We’re hoping that the iPhone 5 will come with a longer lasting battery so that we only have to charge the phone every other day, rather than every day. Even more so, we’re hoping that the iPhone 5′s battery is re-movable so that we can easily replace the battery when it stops holding a good charge. Better Zooming and Image Taking The iPhone 4S camera is by far the best iPhone camera yet. That having been said, one thing we think could stand to be improved is the zoom functionality for the iPhone 5. You can’t zoom very much with the iPhone 4S, and when you do, the zoomed images appear very blurry. While we’re on the topic of image quality, we’d also like to see an even better camera in the iPhone 5. This doesn’t necessarily mean a camera with more megapixels (because having more megapixels doesn’t always translate to better image quality), but rather a higher quality camera that is capable of taking great images whether the lighting is perfect or too bright/too dark. Slimmer, New Design Don’t get us wrong, we like the design of the 4S and don’t find it to be too terribly balky. However, when you compare the 4S to the ultra thin Droid Razr or Samsung Galaxy S2, the iPhone is a little thicker than we’d like. As we’ve been hearing that the iPhone 5 will come with a bigger display, we’re hoping that Apple finds a way to incorporate the bigger display while also making the iPhone 5 a little bit slimmer. Even if that means drastically changing the design of the new iPhone.

Check out the New iPad 2 App This app can be downloaded from the App Store. Its like having a smaller version of Photoshop on your ipad 2, for $9.99. Terry Whites tech blog on YouTube gives you a great tutorial on this new amazing product.
